The collection from Rhetia is dated ca. 580 ; it is extant in only one set of fragments (today München, BSB, Clm 29550/1). Kéry describes it as a "chronologically arranged collection of conciliar canons and decretals. Taken from an earlier version of the Collectio Frisingensis; very close relationship to Collectio Weingartensis."

The fragments (coming from 16 folios of three different quires) contains parts of a relatively elaborate capitulatio, and the numbers reappear in the collection itseld. Apparently, the collection originally had contained 286 canons. Most of the material are conciliar canons of the fourth and fifth centuries, but also some papal letters including JK 255. Of these materials, only some are contained in the extant fragments, as Mordek noted:

Als sichere Bestandteile der Collectio Tuberiensis (Tb) sind — da in Text und/oder Capitulatio ausgewiesen — die Kanones von Nikäa (mit Beiwerk), Ankyra, Karthago, Rom (Exempla synodi Romani) und Serdika anzusehen sowie die Siricius-Dekretale mit dem voraufgehenden unbekannten Überlie-ferungsrest.

Other materials that (based on the Weingartensis) are presumed to have been part of the Tuberiensis are conciliar canons (Neocaesarea, Gangra, Antiochia, Laodicea, Chalcedon) and two decretals of Innocent I (JK 286 and 293). The only texts that are in the Weingartensis but not the Tuberiensis (according to Mordek) are an epitome of the Serdica canons, the Tomus Damasi, and Gelasius' Generale decretum (JK 636)

According to Schieffer, the scribe was working with an exemplar of modest quality and added further errors.
